Fixing escaping output

[jankofron]

In case of passing the -e parameter (finish after the "first" error found) to swarm, the generated scripts contain sub-condition 0 -eq 0, which is obviously wrong (I experienced misbehaviour). When escaping the $? as \\$?, the resulting scripts really test the result of wc -l, which is the intended behaviour, I believe.

Interesting -- I don't see that behavior on my system -- the script correctly contains [ $? -eq 0 ] is there something special in your environment? -g

I apologize for not sharing these details, I actually planned to... Well, I am on arch linux, GNU bash, version 5.3.3(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu), so nothing special, I would say. I suspect bash here – do you use a different sh? I will try different machines and OSs to see, and let you know! Thanks a lot for your response :-)!

I have just tried two other Linux OSes (Rocky Linux 9.5 and Ubuntu 22.04), tried to use zsh and dash instead of bash (by modifying the shebang in the generated swarm script), and still getting the same behaviour under any configuration ([ 0 -eq 0 ]). An interesting issue, I have to admit.

I tried on both cygwin under Windows11 and with bash in Ubuntu and both work correctly. Also recompiled the swarm.c code to make sure. The code hasn't changed in about 16 years..... A mystery.
